How to implement whitelist instead of blacklist for Splunk Plugin for Jenkins?

The Splunk plugin for Jenkins implements a blacklist model for determining which Jobs send their information to Splunk (i.e. regex where matching jobs will be ignored) - is there a way to implement whitelist model that isn't just horrendous regex? I'm looking to only send to Splunk for a few Jobs out of many.

Hi Gnanasekar,
where ever blacklist can be used, it can be replaced with whitelist(vice versa is true as well)
maybe, if you give us the config file, we can suggest how to do this.

for example - assume there are two host names ABC.company.com and DEF.company.com

[serverClass:all_apps_inputs]
restartSplunkd = true
blacklist.0 = splunk_indexers
whitelist.0 = ABC*

[serverClass:all_apps_inputs]
restartSplunkd = true
blacklist.0 = splunk_indexers
blacklist.1 = DEF*

thanks and best regards,
Sekar
